  1. Additionally, I’d like to know what markings appear on the brass fittings. They look like a series of triangles.
  2. Good evening all, I would appreciate help in translating this Mei, please. Because of the file size, this is all I can post for now. Additionally, I am curious as to what the blue ink stamp in the handle is.
  3. What can you tell me about the condition of the scabbard, blade, handle, and guards?
  4. @Ray Singer, I sent you an email with more pictures; I hope those pictures are better.
  5. I’ve recently acquired a sword and would like help. I’ve had some translation help and have been told that the sword smith worked in the 1640s; but I’m concerned about the condition of the other handle parts and blade. Please see photos attached.
  6. Doug, thanks for the response; but what about the rest of the blade’s condition? Would it be worth it to keep it given the damage to the handle and scabbard?
  7. It’s a 21” blade and 31” overall. I’ve included more photos.
  8. It’s a 21” blade and 31” overall. I’ve included more photos.
  9. It should be a 21” blade and 31” overall length. I’ll post more photos when I can.
  10. Good afternoon everyone, I am needing some help with identifying a sword smith. I’ve uploaded a photo of the tang and I will upload more of the sword when I can: but I wanted to start with the kanji first. Thanks.
  11. @Bruce Pennington and @GeorgeLuucas, thanks for the advice, I’m not selling; but I do have a lot to think about.
